GLADSTONE AND AMERICA.
An Amusing Interview With Red Shirt OF
the " lid West.

LONDON, April 80.
Mr.. Gladstone and wife yesterday paid a
visit to the grounds of the American exhibi-
tion and the camp of the Wild West show in
London. A special performance was given
for their entertainment and they were much
Impressed by the Indians. After the per-
tormauce Gladstone was introduced to Red
Shirt, one of the Indians. He spoke to him
at length, and asked him whether ne noticed
any difference between the English and
Americans, or if he regarded then as BROTH
ers. Red Shirt replied that he didn't no.
tice much about the brotherhood"
The 1900 workmen employed At the exhib-
ition grounds cheered for Gladstone and home
rule. The grand old man and his wife bowed
repeatedly in answer to the salutations. MIR.
Gladstone was afterwards entertained at a
lunch by the managers of the exhibition.
Col. Russell of Boston presided. Replying
to toast to his health Mr.. Gladstone said
among other things:
"rhe institutions and progress of the
United States have always been subj, cts of
great interest to me ever since, very many
years ago, studied the life of Washington.
l became aware first of the magnitude of the
destiny reserved for Americans, and second
of the fact that the period of the birth of the
American state was of more interest than
any other to the political student. Whenever
a youth desirous of studying political life
consults me respecting the course of study in
the field of history, l always refer him to the
early history of America. God Almighty
made Englishmen and Americans kinsmen,
and they ought to have affection for one an
other If they had not humanity would cry
shame upon them. l rejoice that the clouds
which once obscured our mutual vision have
almost vanished from our political sky and
that the future is as bright and promising as
the warmest hearted among us could desire. y

IRISH CRIMES ACT.
Healy's Amendment tn it Defeated by a
Vote of 157 to 100.

LONDON, April 20.
The House of Commons, this afternoon,
went into committee on the Irish Crimes
act amendment bill.
T. M. Healy proposed that the word ofense
be changed to the word crime.
Dillon and Bradlaugh supported the prop
osiion.
Balfour, chief secretary for Ireland, de-
cIned on behalf of the government to accept
the change.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt said it was
evident the bill was not intended to punish
crime IN Ireland but intended for applying
the penalties by resident magistrates to the
new ofIenses created by the bill.
Gladstone advised the government not to
accept the Healy amendment.
division was taken and the amendment
defeated by l57 votes to l20.
DR.. Commins, member for South Roscom-
mon, liberal, moved that the crimes act
should not be retrospective.
Mr.. Healey said he would advise his coun-
trymen to refnse to answer the summonses
under the clause if the act were made retro
spective.
The attorney general and solicitor general
opposed the amendment.
DR.. Commins' amendment was negatived
without division.

INTER.>TATE COMMERCE..
Boston and New York Grain Rates-A
Test to be Made on the Long and Short
Haul Question.

New YORK, April 90.
The trunk line presidents, at their meeting
in New York this afternoon, will perhaps ar
range to give Boston the same rates as New
York, both on grain for export and grain for
consumption. At present the New York rate
for consumption is 25 cents, and the Boston
rate 80. In consequence ofthis surplus sup
plies in the latter city cannot be profitablv
exported. The impression has been that un
der the interstate commerce law, the rate to
Boston, being for n longer haul, it would
have to be higher. but the presidents will
probably restore the rates that were in force
before the law, and let the question be passed
upon if any one complains
The attitude of the Grand Trunk will be
discussed. That compnny is not now cutting
rates but that it has not signed the agreement
is q dangerous factor of the situation.
Another question is the Union Pscfcs ap-
pication for suspension of the long and
short haul clause of the law. There is some
likelihood that the presidents will oppose the
application because the Union Pacific is sup
plying San Francisco sugar to trunk lines ter
rltory so slow that eastern sugar is excluded.

NEW foRK, April 20.
Judge Samuel Jones, the referee in the
case OF Agnes Folsom, formerly of Rich

oneratlng DIR. William NJ. Cate from any
wrong doing in the matter. The referee.

"lhe above matters" referred to in the
OPINION are recital of the facts in the case
coupled with the testimony. The original
petition was made by Miss Folsoms father
on information and belief, and contained
three principal allegations: First. that
Agnes Folsom was insane; second, that she
had been seducei and destroyed by DR.. Viii.
liam N. Gate, and third, that Dr. Cate had
entered the petitioners family as ply sician.
and under that guise had taken away the
daughter and was restraining her of her lib.
erty, and refusing to allow any one to see
her. DIR. Gates return to the petition denied
all these allegations. Miss Folsom, in an
affidavit, also denied them. In answer to
the return, MIR. Folsom reiIerates all that he
had before alleged, but based his allegations
upon Information said to have been derived
by him from his wife. The usual motion
will now be made by Mr.. Allan for contirma.

Barrett
Lawyers look upon this as somewhat re-

TO allege that Miss Folsom was insane, or
that her affections had been triied with A

evidence was all that was necessary.

A Shoe Factory Kick.
HAvERHILL, Mass,

HAvERHILL, Mass, April 49,
The rejection of the lasters' union price
list by the manufacturers association wal
unexpected by the former. The matter has
been under advisement some time. Ere
ouent conferences have been held. The list
submitted by the union was about the same
as that of last year, though reduction OF
20 per cent. was made on the second grace
but the manufacturers created third graoe
list. making the price 10 per cent less than
for other grades. To this the union object
ed. IL is anticipated that prices will be ar
ranged with each shop separately. In this
way the union hopes to fix up the matter
without strike. The manufacturers seem
determined to meet the employees direct and
not through the medium of committee. BY
adopting the union price list for lasting, the
manufacturers say they could not make
goods without loss.

BUILDERS Association and the Working
Mems Unions Considering the Labor
Situation.

CHICAGO, April %.
The master masons' and builders associs.
ton held two hours session, last night, con.
sldering the threatened strike of helpers and
nod carriers, which it is feared will be insug-
urated May 2. if their demand for an increase
OF wages is not acceded TO. The expression
was unanimous that the employers could not
afford, under present contracts, to increase
the wages. They also decided that they
would not recognize the hod carriers union
under any circumstances, either at the pres
ent or at any other time. The president of
the association says that he expected the
the strike to take place Monday.
At a meeting of the hod carriers union il
was decided to instruct all the members of
the union to lay their demands personally be-
fore their employers, next Saturday, and TO
ask for definite reply. The men will make
reports at meeting on Sunday, and all those
employed by contractors refusing TO raise
their wages, will be ordered ont.
The pasterers' union passed resolutions
prohibiting its members from handling work
done for them by non union laborers. This
means that the plasterers will refuse to work
with the men, who, in case of strike, would
take the place of union hod carriers. The
strike of hod carriers means the lsving of
Of masons, or the gong out of 1900 men on
Monday.
